Employment of Faculty and Staff

With respect to employment of staff, consistent with Liberty University’s nondiscrimination employment policy, the School of Law does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, or status as a veteran.

With respect to appointment to the faculty, the School of Law does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, or status as a veteran. Because it is the School’s mission “to equip future leaders in law with a superior legal education in fidelity to the Christian faith expressed through the Holy Scriptures,” and the applicability of the University’s distinctly Christian Statement of Professional Ethics, the School does not discriminate on the basis of religion in faculty appointments except to the extent that applicable law respects its right to act in furtherance of its religious objective.

In its employment practices, the School of Law does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, but does discriminate on the basis of sexual misconduct, including, but not limited to, non-marital sexual misconduct, homosexual conduct, or the encouragement or advocacy of any form of sexual behavior that would undermine the Christian identity or faith mission of the University.
